Lexifir Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi mate... your setup is similar to mine... I'm wondering if you are suffering the same problems as me during an install...... try this; -x -v legacy busratio=X PCIRootUID=X GraphicsEnabler=no X for busratio you seem to know, but the X for PCIRootUID is where the card is installed on your system... usually slot one.. check the mainboard \ manual..... Using those setting I managed to get the [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and SL 10.6.6 to install, and it was very smooth.... only problem I had was MASSIVE boot time loads as the install had long wait after graphics load errors.... just be patient (5-10 mins on the verbose screen readout) Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry maybe my english is not so good, but i don't understand what value is the "X" if you can explain it easy is better, because i'have a problem with translation. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphaK Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 X = Values Values = Numbers Example: PCIRootUID=1 <---pci slot BusRatio=23 <---bus ratio of cpu Core2Duo = 22 (I think!) Look up BusRatio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphaK Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 How are you making the installation / What sort of installation guide did you use? Do not use distribution installation - the preload boot kext files is most likely causing this. Make your own boot and installation instead.

I used hazard's snowleopard iso, i don't know other installation's system..... In your opinion, what should I use? Make your own boot and installation instead. how can I create a custom installation disc ????? Do you know any guide that is applicable even for my motherboard x58??
